When we Create Prisons of Convenience

We are in some kind of prison of our own. To most of us who've examined ourselves closely, we normally realize that a prison comes in different forms. It may be financial disability, being enslaved by a devastating form of passion, or getting reminded by a painful past we’ve never learned to let go. Therefore, we betray our personal freedom to the prison within. Of all the many prisons I have seen, most of us have developed a prison of a universal greed. Subsequently, from that prison of greed, we gave birth to something more evil: the curse of limitation. With the advancement of new technologies, we somehow been able to find gratification in building shallow relationships as we neglect the little stuff that mattered most. As a substitute for writing letters that happen to be traditional and sweet, a lover resorted to texting and tweeting online, since it is most common but all the while never intimate. But it worked for us, because we loved the advantage of a limited relationship.rnAmong this is agreeing to a dinner date with friends, then at the last minute, backing out by merely texting you’re not going. We arrogantly believed that was okay. However if we have the decency to reflect the gravity of this action, we’re all victims of simple absolutions. Nothing is grand anymore. You can turn down an engagement which can build stronger relationships by a mere text. Those days are gone when someone is obliged to meet up with whomever because sending messages are considered a high-end commodity. The previous days may be limited with convenience, but the majority of the stories I’ve heard were not limited with love. There was a time when I did exactly the same, I discovered myself communicating my life openly with strangers I met in the social media, and not to my loved ones. In my situation, a shallow relationship is less complicated to end. I ran headless towards the curse of limiting myself and I became stingy of my love. Needless to say, It took a death of a dearly loved one to make me recognize that time waits for no one, and that regrets truly are essentially the most painful of all. We talked about John Gokongwei, and just how he led his life towards great accomplishments before . On his 80th birthday, he donated half of his billions to charities, but please note: he started his empire by selling only peanuts. Keeping that in mind, I find his story an antidote to the curse. He was generous, but not just to charities. He was generous to live the dream he dreamed and as a consequence, he blessed a lot of lives.rnThe conclusion might be the same, but how we made a different path matters most. Whatever battle everyone is at the moment, you should be generous. Be a person who’s never imprisoned by the walls of a limited life. Live the marvelous life! Join Truly Rich Club!
